Definitely one of the finest debut albums of all time. At first, I was one of those Beatles vs Stones fans (choosing the Beatles), but around 1966 I realized I didn't have to chose one over the other, I could be a fan of both. And have been that ever since.

[@pauldavis3791]

@TZ1000-zu7ki Yes I was a Stones fan that could not admit to liking the Beatles which is why I went to see Hard Days Night on my own in case any of my friends saw me. Loved the film!

[@maximobenatti6110]

I too liked the Rolling Stones, but I must say that there is an abysmal difference between them and the Beatles. The musical growth, the experimentation, the evolution both musically and in recording techniques that the Beatles demonstrated over the years, the Stones dream of.

[@pauldavis3791]

@@maximobenatti6110 I too love the Rolling Stones and have collected their records since 1964. However, I have to admit they did not come close to the originality of The Beatles. Sometimes they shamelessly copied them As Tears Go By with string quartet in the wake of Yesterday being the worst example. But when it came to live performance The Rolling Stones were in a class of their own. Comparison with The Beatles is a bit of a case of chalk and cheese IMO.

[@maximobenatti6110]

@@pauldavis3791 It was precisely the genius and desire for innovation that made the Beatles choose to stop performing live because it was now too complicated to reproduce on stage what they could do in the studio, thus initiating true innovation in recording techniques. After all, the Stones' stage presence was born in the 1970s when the Beatles had already stopped performing together.

[@neiltheblaze]

For my entire life I've never understood the whole Beatles vs. Stones rivalry bit. I liked them both in 1964, and I still do. Never saw a reason not to like either, and never needed them to be more like one another. I never believed I had to choose one over the other. Why would I? I liked the Beatles for their innovative outlook and their songwriting. I liked the Stones for their take on the blues and R&B - I liked both bands because I love guitars. Then I kept adding bands: The Animals, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, The Who, etc, etc, etc. My love of music just kept expanding and the new stuff never negated the old. I don't care who is The Greatest of All Time. Music isn't a competition to me.

[@nicktecky55]

@@itinerantpatriot1196 Nope. There was no mechanism for a record executive to play such a game. It was simpler than that. The Beatles, with the Cardin suits and well groomed look were in contrast to the Stones from day one. Mums loved the Beatles, the Stones were the bad boys. Cliff Richard v Billy Fury if you like. It was also a Mods v Rockers game. In fact, John and Keith were in contact all the time, and played their record companies so that the bands didn't compete for the No1 slot.

Good to see some Stones on the channel. Funnily enough I was in Regent Sound Studio only yesterday. It's a small music shop now so it's good that music is still being played there in some form. There's a small advert from the 60s in the window acknowledging that the Stones recorded Not Fade Away there. Nice that some parts of London are holding on to their musical heritage if they can despite developers having other ideas!

Andrew, great video, really interesting, loved it. I'm a huge Stones fan, have been since 1971 when I purchased "Sticky Fingers" at the age of 13 and simply fell in love with this band. They were, back then, in the middle of their incredible run of great albums. I soon delved into their back catalog and realized how different this band was right from the begining. Yes, the debut album you've reviewed was a a precursor of what would come from them, and demonstrated their unique and bluesy sound that still stands up today. Your video taught me things I did not know and I truly appreciate this. Please, please do more Stones stuff. Their history is so fascinating.

Hi Andrew great video. Great to see someone at last show love for such a classic debut album. So many Stones fans don’t seem to appreciate how great this album is. This album got me into listening to Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, etc. All the Stones covers on this album are excellent and I love the raw mono sound. I’m a fan of both The Beatles and Stones, as well as the rest of the classic 60’s British bands like The Who, Kinks, Small Faces, Yardbirds, Pretty Things, The Animals, The Move, etc. It would be great if you could feature some of these bands as well.

Enjoyable video, Andrew! I adore the Stones, particularly their early years. You also know what a huge Kinks fan I am.

If anyone can teach me new things about those three bands I don't already know, it's you.

I was a teenager when this album (LP in my day!) came out and it was unique at the time. I had never heard of Bo Diddley and the guitar work they did on Mona was just amazing to me - never heard anything like it! Great music which for a lot of teenagers then opened a door to the blues. Of all their LPs I love their second album best as to me it shows their great guitar work even more. Please cover No.2 🙂

While the Beatles were my first favourite band, by the time the 1980s rolled around, I was spending more time delving into the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, the Who, and eventually the Hollies and beyond. While I rarely get the urge to listen to Please Please Me (the album), the Stones' debut still feels fresh and exciting. Last December, I went to Arizona for the first time, and as soon as we hit Route 66, I put in the Stones' version and cranked it, it was a perfect musical moment.

I've got the mono box set. A truly fine pressing of a great debut album. I started as a 'Beatles' person in the early 70s, but by the end of the decade I was listening to a lot more Rolling Stones. The fact that the Stones were still putting out good records at the end of their second decade didn't hurt.

Excellent, I can get a bit Beatled out so other bands of that vintage are welcome. Ran to my original copy, side 2 is a 3A :( Btw Phelge was James Phelge who lived with Mick, Keith and Brian in Chelsea.

[@muzzy1978]

Loved this album since I was a little kid. Songs speed up, backing vocals are off-key at times, distortion intrudes and levels of instruments audibly change (Keith's solo in 'Now I've Got A Witness' is noticeably whacked down by a panicked engineer) and yet it all adds to the excitement, rather than detract from it. The sheer energy of the performances generates a fantastic vibe and all in upfront Mono as it should be, which is the only way to hear early Stones. I have my dad's original vinyl copy, with 'Mona' on the sleeve and the missing word on Track 5, Side 2 and despite the years and incessant playing (the grooves are almost grey now), the sound still leaps out the speakers in a way that the CD mastering's has never quite managed to replicate.

Really pleased that you did this feature Andrew in time for this ground breaking album's 60th Anniversary. I've actually been listening to it a lot recently, to mark the occasion, and it really is 33 & a half minutes of perfection! I've never understood the rivalry between the Stones & The Beatles (mainly a concoction of the popular press of the time); I and most people I knew loved both bands as well as several others that were supposed to be rivals of The Beatles such as The Beach Boys, Kinks, Animals, Yardbirds, Who etc - it was just an epic time for music and so exciting to experience it growing up in London listening to Pirate Radio and watching great pop shows on television like Ready Steady Go! I'd love you to do more Stones features - their UK Decca output (1963-70) is particularly fascinating and not one single A-side of the 15 singles that they released during that time were lifted from any of the bands 8 UK studio albums (although they did squeeze in two Greatest Hits compilations - ripe for more analysis) and unlike The Beatles only released three EP's; all containing new material rather than album highlights. It was also interesting that after the band departed for Atlantic to release records on their own label at the start of the 70's, that Decca tried to maintain the illusion that the Stones were still with the label and released no less than 7 compilation albums (in the UK) between 1971 & 75; described by Roy Carr in his Illustrated Record book on the band as the worst reissue programme ever but I would still love to see even those records receive some further attention.

[@carlnielsen3477]

I love that album. I have from when I first stumbled on it. So I agree this is among their best. Just as "Tell Me" can fully stand the distance among later Jagger/Richards-songs. The way the set off with the opening to "Route 66" is so powerfull, energetic and catchy. And then we are on board for a great journey that is exiting all the way through. It surely is one of those great debut-albums that defined british rock. Coming in between Beatles' "Please Please Me" and The Who's "My Generation", it's a part of a story. Raw energy and increasing aggression went on just before things got into more experimental areas. It was Swinging Blue Jeans going "Hippy Hippy Shake" and The Yardbirds in their Clapton-period. Snappy, catchy, feet-stumping music sure to put you in a good mood. A lot of those things stands in the shadow of the next phase with all its highly creative inventiveness and progressive achievements, and are sometimes a bit underated. Of course it is more simple and straight forward, but that is exactly what makes it great rock and roll. And one thing it got on its side and where it holds the championship is energy. The hard pumpin' up-tempo and no-bullshit-attitude gave these early recordings a unspoiled honesty that is quite unique. So thank you for making this video. I enjoyed getting some more detailed information about how the album was made, different versions and all that. Very informative and interesting!

I bought this album when it came out. I had just left school and was playing in my first band. Such was the influence of the album we went from a straight forward Top 40 group to a Stones type band and we ended up playing at least five of the songs. I have just found my copy of the album and it does appear to be one of the early ones. It carries the number XARL-6271-2A and Hurran and Calvert are listed as the writers of Honest I Do.

Growing up, I was always aware when they had a new release, and I had probably 20 of their singles in my own collection, but never sat and listened to a full LP until after Charlie Watts passed away. They also mirrored the Beatles with their varied UK/US releases, so I'd love to find out about those differences.

In my opinion, Mone (I Need You Baby) is the Stones' earliest masterpiece, even if it is a cover. There's such a strangely grand, even epic feel to it, and the echoey recording with Mick's voice at a distance making it feel like he's beckoning you to follow him on a grand adventure to try and find Mona and build that house next door to hers.

Great video, Andrew! I have a 1A pressing but it was pressed in Canada, so I have the longer version of Tell Me.

My first album. Bought in 1964. Why did I lose it??

[@rogernetzer1054]

Great! Yes, more Stones!

[@paulaelizabethg]

Just go watch The Stones performance at The Tami Show 1964. They had to follow James Brown (at one of his peaks) and they are amazing.

Great knowledge, you made me pull my copy out while watching. very interesting facts, mines a 4A. I have a CD version as well, and see that that cover came from the USA cover with `England`s newest hit makers on it`.

Great album. Yes let’s see more from the British groups of the 60s!

Thanks now I know which version of Tell Me to use in my playlist of the American release, though bummed its not the longer version

Picked this up in the noughties when I started collecting LPs in charity and record shops from 50p each. £10 in 2001 was crazy money to 18yr old me for things like Sergeant Peppers with the psychedelic insert, but I bought it! Can’t remember where I got the Stones debut but it’s a Mona pressing. I learnt so much from this video thank you so much for connecting me further to my collection. I tentatively looked for 1A or 2A …aaaand… mines a 3A! Haha never mind, great to hold in your hand and listen to history. Thanks again

Thanks for watching!

Great video Andrew. I love my colored vinyl version in the mono box. It sounds fantastic. I like videos like this so maybe some more stones and perhaps some Who albums??

[@Parlogram]

Glad you enjoyed it, Johnny. I'll keep your suggestion in mind.
